There’s nothing better than a good holiday party. I love love LOVE the thought that goes into planning and executing a party, the sweet time with friends or family, and the food! Whether you’re throwing a finger foods bash or providing an entire sit down dinner, the food is important.
In the South, we communicate our love with food. If a family member dies, we bring you food. Are you sick? We’re bringing you food. Are you a guest in our home? We’re offering you lots of food until you eat something. 😂
I believe that creating a menu for your holiday party is the same–you’re communicating your love through the food you serve at your holiday party.
Below, I’m listing a few of my favorite go-to recipes for holiday parties, but I really lack in this area. I think because there are so many options that I have a hard time deciding what to bring or serve. This is why I cannot wait to read everyone’s posts and bookmark some really good recipes to make later this month!
I’ve made these for a few different functions and every time I do, I always get TONS of compliments and am asked for the recipe. It’s the easiest thing to make (no, really, it is) and only requires 4 ingredients…that’s it. SO SIMPLE!
I have a brunch to attend next week and will be making these sausage pinwheels. They are a really easy finger food and can be made healthier with substitutions–reduced fat crescent rolls, turkey sausage, reduced fat cream cheese. I always make these the night before and put them in the fridge overnight. Then I slice the morning of and bake.
This is a Mix and Match Mama recipe. I LOVE making Shay’s bars and this one might be my favorite! It tastes just like a cinnamon roll!! I’ve made homemade cream cheese icing before, used store-bought cream cheese icing before, and have even made a glaze for the top. They all taste good and good luck stopping after one piece haha!
Now it’s your turn! Link up with Shelly, our guest cohost, and I today to share your favorite holiday party recipes!

I have made these chocolate chip cookie bars the past two Christmases. They are so quick that I actually bake them Christmas morning in between everything. Thanks for posting the recipe!
